Kansas Quarterly Meeting of District No. 4

By H. G. Buxton

KANSAS QUARTERLY MEETING OF DIST. NO. 4.

I report this meeting to show that a little was done, and also to show our district that a good deal was not done. No minister nor members from distant societies were present; yet we tried on the Sabbath to get ourselves aroused to see the light in such a manner that it might shine through us and help to bring about the salvation of every honest soul in this, the capital city, as we expect to institute a missionary campaign here this season. Two of the three societies composing the district, reported nearly 13,000 pages of reading matter and 260 periodicals distributed, 149 missionary visits made, 30 letters written, 7 new members added, and 6 new subscriptions obtained. Sent $25.38 to our State society. We felt impelled to commit ourselves to the following:—

Whereas, We as tract and missionary officers and members have not done our work as faithfully as we should, and have not taken the interest in spreading the truth that it has been our duty and privilege to take; therefore—

Resolved, That in the future we will be awake to a realizing sense of the times in which we live, and to the importance of each member's doing all in his or her power to advance the cause of present truth; and that we will carry out the plans of those who have the charge of the work; also that we will keep a faithful account of all work done and report it at the proper time to the proper officers.

May God help us all to maintain this resolution in the spirit of sacrifice.

H. G. BUXTON, Director.
